We offer top-notch septic solutions in the Marietta area.

A septic drainfield, also known as a leach field, is an essential component of a septic system that treats wastewater in homes and businesses around the Marietta, Georgia area. The drainfield is in charge of safely distributing and purifying the liquid effluent that exits the septic tank, preventing pollution of the surrounding environment. Understanding how it works and what is needed to maintain it can help you keep your system in good working order.

A drainfield is a network of perforated pipes or chambers buried in gravel-filled ditches underneath the lawn. When wastewater leaves the septic tank, it enters the drainfield. The liquid percolates through the gravel and dirt, which serve as natural filters, eliminating unwanted bacteria, nutrients, and organic material. The treated water then returns to the groundwater system, clean and safe.

When it comes to the septic drainfield, it may seem like it’s one of those “out of sight, out of mind” things, but the truth is that it may need to be serviced or even replaced at one point or another. Overloading the system with water, failing to pump out the septic tank on a regular basis, or disposing of non-biodegradable items can all cause obstructions and system failure. Slow drains, unpleasant odors, and damp grass are signs of a malfunctioning drainfield and reasons to call our team at Ray’s Septic Service.

We have over 30 years of combined experience in the industry and can help assess the septic drainfield on your residential or commercial property to make sure it is working as it should. If not, we can offer recommendations so you can make an informed decision regarding your next step. Contact us today to learn more.
